What's the GATE rank or score required to get into NITIE?
As far as I know, if you have a score of 750 or higher, you will be contacted for an interview. For admission to NITIE, you have to pass the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).
If you fall into one of the reserved categories, your required score will be lower in order to be called in for an interview.
NITIE Cutoff for GATE (Expected) –
| Category | GATE Cutoff Scores |
| General | 720 to 760 + |
| OBC NCL | 550+ |
| SC | 500+ |
| ST | 420+ |
Placements for all courses are good in my opinion. You can also check out the official website for more specific information.
Is getting an online degree from IIT Madras worth it while I'm pursuing my own course?
The increasing demand for data science and artificial intelligence has resulted in people preferring a more promising career among fresh graduates and working professionals. This field has created a number of opportunities and everyone is flocking to it.
These courses are seen as a key to a more high-paying job by UG students who end up pursuing them alongside their main course. Owing to its increasing demand, IIT Madras and IIM Calcutta have started offering online degrees in Data Science
IITM offers courses at three levels:
- The foundation level: Comprises a time duration of 8 months to 3 years costing around 32k.
- The Diploma level: Comprises a time duration of 12 months to 3 years and costs 1,10,000.
- The Degree level: Varying from 12 months to 3 years, it costs 1,00,000.
While doing an online course that too from IIT Madras may look like a lucrative option here is the dark side
- The course is extremely expensive
- The long duration is not suitable for graduates or working professionals who want to move forward in their careers.
- Lack of hands-on experience
- No placement of internship assistance at all
- Pre-recorded sessions make the learning boring and uninteresting
- You won’t be allowed to pursue the degree unless you’ve done the diploma.
The IIT tag surely appeals to many and makes your resume look good in front of recruiters however, it does not guarantee that you have a good Data Science career. It might help you get through the first round, but the course does not offer the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this domain. The reasons why this course is not credible are the lack of hands-on projects, pre-recorded sessions, and absence of interaction in the class or doubt-solving sessions.
The alternative for these online courses are programs offered by various platforms like Learn Bay, Skill Slash, UpGrad Great Learning, SimpliLearn, etc. These are
- Cost friendly
- Ace up your knowledge
- Offers a hands-on experience by making you work on real-time industry issues
- Placement assistance
All these make them a more viable option for a career in Data Science than the Online course of IIT Madras.
What can be my prospects of joining IIM Ahmedabad for an MBA and later going to Harvard for some courses after becoming an IAS officer?
It has become a trend for IAS/PCS to pursue an MBA these days. But it’s important to note that there are no reserved seats for civil servants for the PGDM (MBA) program. You have to attempt CAT to join the Post Graduate program.
However, IIM-A offers a number of Professional Development programs suitable for senior government functionaries.
Personally, I will advise you to clarify your career goals. Determine what is more important in your career: Civil Services or an MBA. This is because people usually join the IIMs for careers in entrepreneurship or jobs in the corporate sector.

What is your review of Osmania University?
Osmania University, in my opinion, is a place where you can learn anything you want. Be it academics, politics, or your other goals. There are numerous resources available at OU that you can use to advance your career. The location of OU is its greatest asset. If you are stressed or bored with your daily routine, you can take a bus and be at RTC X-roads, the land of theaters, in 10 minutes. Even walking from OU to X-roads will take less than 25 minutes. Tired of the same old food? Just put your legs outside your room, and you'll have a plethora of restaurants to choose from. Biryani BAWARCHI, the king of Hyderabad Biryani, is also located on RTC-X roads.
If you like reading, you can go to Central Library or Landscape, which are opposite each other. If you want to be an IAS officer, there are excellent coaching institutes like RC REDDY in RTC X-Roads. You can also enjoy some colorful scenery on campus.
If a person gets KT in first year engineering, is it shown on final marksheet of Mumbai University?
No, the final mark sheet of Mumbai University does not mention your KT. You will receive a new mark list after clearing the whole semester's examination. Try to score more than 55% in your engineering, and don’t worry about the KT. When it comes to placement, there are companies that do not focus on your points; rather, they need candidates with aspirations for success and determination.
